(Moline, IL) — A soon to be former Democratic lawmaker says voters shouldn’t blame their local legislators for the inaction in Springfield. He says they should blame House Speaker Mike Madigan. Outgoing State Rep Mike Smiddy told WQAD TV yesterday that he thinks Madigan has “outlived his usefulness.” Madigan has been in power for 30 years at the state capitol. Smiddy lost his seat to a Republican challenger in November.
